Chapter 460: Chapter 294: I Gave You the Opportunity, Why are You Not Utilizing It?

Tang Fei was not a particularly hard-kneed person.

If he really felt danger, he would kneel before you at the first opportunity.

You wouldn’t be able to pull him up.

But he couldn’t feel it…

Gongshu Wuyu stared at Tang Fei with a cold gaze, the fierce Sword Qi had already locked onto Tang Fei’s position, and he said in a deep voice, “I know your strength… When you first came to New Star, you were just a superior Qi master.”

“At the Princess’s coming-of-age ceremony, Shen Xinglan bluntly revealed your unstable foundation and unsteady Qi, ultimately reconstructing your body with the royal ‘Imperial Court Scripture’ to solidify your core and cultivate your source.”

Tang Fei thought to himself, Shen Xinglan indeed had bad intentions.

In front of so many people, he clamored, displaying his exceptional intelligence and sharp vision.

And reinforced his image of being open and magnanimous, attracting a great deal of goodwill.

Look, look, he even generously advises his own romantic rival…

But to the discerning, those words revealed the flaws in Tang Fei’s Cultivation Technique and the disadvantages of his practice.

If there were no grudges, it might have ended there.

But with a grudge, they would target and ambush him based on this.

Like Gongshu Wuyu now, knowing Tang Fei’s shaky foundation, knew that advancing through Kan Pin later would require more effort and hard work than ordinary people.

“Even after you later followed the Great Grandmaster and entered the Ghost Prison, it was just over a year…”

“Advancing in cultivation depends on both talent and diligence. Even someone as gifted as Shen Xinglan spent many years in White Crane Academy before advancing to Grandmaster.”

“I want to see what progress you’ve made in these two years, and see if you can block my sword.”

Gongshu Wuyu, being one of the Imperial Three-Month Seven Stars, naturally possessed extraordinary strength.

People thought he had been immersed in commerce over the years, and had abandoned the arduous Martial Arts.

But only he knew how much effort and sweat he had put in the undisclosed training room and Gravity Chamber.

A man must work in silence and then amaze everyone.

That was what he thought and what he did.

So now was his time to dazzle the world.

He thought Tang Fei was really a foolish guy, having accurately identified his escape route and even managing to ambush the people coming to meet him…

But that was it?

Why not bring more people?

Why not bring some experts?

What about the Grandmasters? Doesn’t the Monitoring Bureau have fostered Grandmasters? If not now, then when?

Thinking he could take him back with just this motley crew? Purely wishful thinking.

“It seems you know me very well,” Tang Fei said cheerfully, looking at Gongshu Wuyu.

“Knowing both your enemy and yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without peril,” Gongshu Wuyu said, “Don’t you also know me well?”

If you didn’t know me, would you have known that I escaped from the Devil Forest? Would you have been waiting here for me?

“That’s also true,” Tang Fei said seriously, “You have learned of my strength and level, but I still don’t know yours… With such confidence, you must be quite extraordinary?”

“We’ll see how strong I am.”

“Agreed,” Tang Fei nodded and said, “Let’s have a try.”

“Captain…” Shen Yan drew his Energy Gun and said, “Let us go first.”

“Forget it, in this terrain, the Energy Gun won’t hit him…” Tang Fei said, “Let’s save some Energy Bullets for the Empire.”

“Yes.” Shen Yan backed down and cautioned, “Be careful, Captain.”

Tang Fei nodded with a smile.

The other two inspectors also wanted to step forward; they were members of the Ghost Squad.

They dared not let their leader face danger, so they wanted to test Gongshu Wuyu themselves.

“You all step back,” Tang Fei said.

Since he had joined the Monitoring Bureau, apart from knocking the deputy captain Pan Yuheng aside with a punch to establish his authority, he had never lifted a hand against anyone else.

There was no chance to make a move; most of the time, it involved restraining people with morality.

This caused his colleagues in the second team, including his deputy Shen Yan and members of the Ghost Squad, to doubt his strength, all worried that he would be cut down by Gongshu Wuyu with a single strike.

After all, Gongshu Wuyu was so confident that it unsettled them…

Tang Fei looked at Gongshu Wuyu and asked aloud, “Shall we begin then?”

Gongshu Wuyu’s body leapt up, his long sword transforming into flecks of starlight that enveloped the area where Tang Fei stood.

He had long locked Tang Fei’s position with his Qi, and what he needed to do now was to shred him with his Sword Qi.

Into countless pieces.

A Sword Style that could rival the measure of a ruler.

Yet it had a pleasant-sounding name, called “Sword Style of the Other Shore.”

Though the Lu Family was established through mechanical prowess, they also possessed several life-preserving Cultivation Techniques.

“Sword Style of the Other Shore” was one of them.

Gongshu Wuyu had painstakingly studied this sword style and had trained the “Sword Style of the Other Shore” to the seventh level of the extraordinary realm of Heartless and Selfless, Divine Freedom.

This was also the reason for his confidence in capturing Tang Fei.

But something strange happened; Gongshu Wuyu’s body flew high in the air, his sword’s Sword Qi had indeed locked Tang Fei.

However, Tang Fei disappeared.

Yes, it was a type of “feeling” of disappearance.

His body still stood there unmoved; his eyes could clearly see Tang Fei’s presence.

But Gongshu Wuyu couldn’t sense his body at all, as if the Sword Qi had locked onto nothing but a remnant shadow or a wandering ghost.

“What’s happening here?”

Gongshu Wuyu was utterly astonished in his heart.

However, the sword stance was old and must be unleashed.

He gritted his teeth and once again urged the Yin Yang Qi within him.

One force breaks all methods.

If something was uncertain, then intensify the force.

Snap!

The weather was cold, and the Sword Qi Gongshu Wuyu released was even colder than the weather.

Numerous Sword Qi beams dismembered Tang Fei, chopping him into countless pieces.

Dismembered and chopped up were also the space in front and the cold air that seemed about to condense into a solid…

Crack!

Gongshu Wuyu’s body gently landed in a snowy nest on the ground.

He stared intently at Tang Fei before him, who still stood there.

Not the dismembered Tang Fei, not the chopped-up Tang Fei.

But a lively, unharmed Tang Fei.

It was as if his sword had never been swung at all.

Seeing Gongshu Wuyu’s shocked and puzzled expression, Tang Fei chuckled and said, “I already gave you a chance, but you’re just not capable, huh?”

“How did you do it?” Gongshu Wuyu asked in a deep voice.

“What you saw was what I let you see. What you locked onto was what I let you lock on to.”

Tang Fei chuckled as he looked at Gongshu Wuyu and said aloud, “Training the ‘Sword Style of the Other Shore’ to the seventh level enters the realm of Heartless and Selfless, Divine Freedom… Don’t you understand yet?”

“How did you know about my ‘Sword Style of the Other Shore’…”

Gongshu Wuyu originally wanted to shout angrily, but instantly quieted down.

The “Sword Style of the Other Shore” was a secret technique of the Lu Family; him knowing it meant that someone wanted him to know.

Just as he knew his own escape paths, although he designed the escape routes himself, the person arranged to meet him was a spy of the Lu Family hidden in Rui Zi.

In an instant, Gongshu Wuyu’s heart sank.

(Today is Christmas Eve. Although Lao Liu does not celebrate Western festivals, I still take this opportunity to wish all my dear friends safety and peace.)
